I do some Y2K testing for my employer, so I have run some of the Y2K tests on FreeBSD too. In particular, this one: ftp://ftp.rdg.opengroup.org/pub/unsupported/stdtools/y2k/ This directory contains two small tests for the data conversion functions, getdate() and strptime(). Getdate() seems to not be supported in FreeBSD at all, so it's not a Y2K issue although probably a POSIX conformance issue. But strptime() fails. It is supposed to understand the 2-digit year from 0 to 38 as years 2000 to 2038. But in fact in FreeBSD 3.0 snapshot from the May 1998 it sees all the years as belonging to the 20th century. If it's fixed in the latest release then sorry for false alarm.
